Here is what I learned from you during the last 5 or so years.  It was a lot of fun even though not my first mission.
Lessons learned:

If any 1 of you are thinking about starting a channel, go prepared not like we did.  Although our mission was to get info out there so folks could get to it and we could have time to do work in the shop on airplanes.  That worked as well, so I did not begin to start a channel, but I got one anyway thanks to all of you.  Thanks again.

I have been using the ReWalk Exoskelton and the MyoCycle regularly for the past year and here is what we are seeing. 
First, the swelling in my feet, ankles and lower calves which required 3-4 hours a day with my legs elevated reclined and sleeping at night with the feet elevated all night.  Even with all that they were still very swollen.  Not so now, back to looking normal size.
Additional benefits of the two are reduced muscle atrophy, improved circulation to feet and legs (no longer ice cold all the time) occasionally cool now.  Muscle tone is improved by the stimulation of the muscle during use of the MyoCycle.
Bowel and bladder are helped with the motion instead of just sitting and movement like walking stirs up the sediment in the bladder so it can be drained during a catheter during a medium for infection to grow in.  So helps with UTI's thus let antibiotics.
Finally, I am getting muscle control of sorts lower down as well as improved core strength.  Today during session work I was able to show voluntary control of a few muscle strands in my lower core/glutes area.  In addition to the muscle control coming back are the sensation returns to lower body.  I can feel pressure on the bottom of my feet during a vault in movement.  I can also sense when I lay on my side, the pressure on my leg touching the bed.  All good sign, I feel even if they lead nowhere.
Let me also mention the pleasure it is to see folks eye to eye and be able to hug my wife standing up.

Subscribers, your count is more important to channel health than likes.

I would like to ask that you tell you aviation friends about us since we do have general aviation videos that apply to all airplanes, i.e. Vacuum systems, etc.

Let us see where this takes us.  Thanks.
